These are not important and outside of the new fisheries law have not much interest for northern B. C. people. What would be interesting to know would be whether the Government has any new policy in regard to the Peace River outlet and the building of a line through the;Jprthern section 6f the province. Also it would be interesting to know if they are taking any steps to head off the move to build the outlet through Alberta instead of British Columbia and to protect the people of the Peace River Block by giving them the shortest and best outlet to the sea by the direct west route. The other matter that interests northern and central Full Speed Ahead Soon Many people do not realize that the Northern Power Company, a subsidiary of the Power Corporation of Canada, is really constructing a large hydro-electric plant to serve the city of Prince Rupert and adjoining territory. The site for the plant is being prepared and the right-of-way for the high-power lines connecting Big Falls on the Ecstall River with the city is being cleared and that during September next it is expected to turn on the power from the first unit. What does this mean to Prince Rupert? It means that the largest power corporation of Canada has faith in the future of the city and district and already scca a market for its product. Under the impetus of the new movement, Prince Rupert will grow. Industries will be developed and all will feel the benefit. Prince Rupert people must prepare for the change. New buildings will be necessary. If there are no va-cant houses in the city today, what will be the condition when people begin to come in? . The Daily News is alive tq the situation and is laying its plans. Others must do the same if they are to keep pace with the new Prince Rupert. 1 British Columbia is the provision being made for the completion of the highway from Prince Rupert to connect -with' the Central B. C. highway giving the city of Prince Rupert a means of getting out with tneir cars and the farmers and others a chance of coming in with their produce. ( USING THE WHIP It smacks too much of Russia, this idea of having to use the whip on rioters in the city of Vancouver, while we luwe no patience with the agitators who use the fact that a few people are unemployed to stir Up trouble and rouse the people to riot, we also look upon the use of the whip on such an occasion as a sign of weakness, If the matter had been turned over to the Dominion authorities thev would have handled it differently. A little more indivi dual work and not so much display of force would have been more effective. Also an attempt to find work for uiu iiiBir ami see mat me leaners iaKe it as wen as tne ranK and file would have helped matters.

Wrestling Match Broadcast Heard From Chicago Radio fans who got Chicago last night heard part of the wrestling match between Strangler Lewis and George McLeod, but there was a fade-out before the end and It was impossible to tell who won. In the second round McLeod threw Lewis out of the ring through the ropes amid the tremendous cheering and howls of the huge con course of fans and he failed to come back, that round going to McLeod. Apparently the match was very exciUng and the broadcast of the parts that could be heard was very Interesting.
